"Love, money, children.... Life is a risk, however much we try to
protect ourselves....
Unlike
the Frants living their quiet ordered lives in the village of Appleford,
Tess and Becky are of the generation that reckons it can have everything.
High flyers in the high-octane world of London's high-finance, they
move through the opportunities, the short-termists, the sharks,
the bullies and the very, very rich to face many choices, not least
the one presented by biology: children.
How they and an older generation balance the texture of their lives
is offered in a story with universal themes. Brilliantly and beautifully
combined with a tender and unexpected love story and a journey to
maturity, it is the work of a fine and courageous writer.
